New Year. New Beginning. New Pinterest?

Wowzers. I knew it'd been a while since I posted anything but a whole year! That's just a shame. And what's worse is I do believe this is probably my one millionth and one time of "catching" up. Fail. Thus, is my crazy life and well my lack of stick-to-it-ivness. That's a word, right?

Here goes. I think we'll just start from today (also something I'm vaguely aware of doing in a few posts prior) and move back as time allows. ha! Well, I've recently discovered the most amazing website ever...thanks to Facebook and a few friends....PINTEREST! The best thing since sliced bread. Really. What it is you ask?! Okay, so you're probably not asking because most everyone already had pinterest long before I did but I'll explain anyway. Hmm....so maybe I'm not quite sure on the logistics of it all BUT what I do know is I can log in and "pin" things like cute hairstyles or how to make your own laundry detergent or even cool craft ideas for kids and let's face it, any busy mom is always looking for new ways to entertain the hellions er, I mean precious kids! :)

Problem in finding this amazing, wonderful, crafty site is that now I have managed to get myself into a handful of projects that I have absolutely NO time to finish. For example, I happened across a gorgeous kitchen and after wiping the drool off my face found myself with a sponge, spray bottle, and putty knife removing the wallpaper! Whaaaaat?!!! Why?!!! I have seriously lost my mind. So in between making breakfast, folding laundry, giving snacks, cleaning dishes, letting the dogs out, changing diapers, separating sibling fights, feeding the dogs, making lunch, paying bills, going to the grocery store, cleaning the house (for the 100th time), reading books, wiping tears, kissing boo-boo's, more laundry, more dishes, more snacks, make dinner, oh ya! the dogs again....ALL of THIS and what do I do...I tear down wallpaper! I will include a before and after and maybe an in-between because God willing, I will find the humor in all of this one day.

But for now, I whine! I whine because I'm just dead tired. I whine because I really wish I could just rewind and save the project for another day but now that it's started I HAVE to finish because of a little trait my father passed down to me... OCD! But mainly I whine because I have no one to blame but myself and that's just not fair! I'd love more then anything to blame my husband for all of this because he is so easy to blame for everything else but nope, he just sits there with his smug little "I told you this was a bad idea" smile. You know...no, I blame pinterest! And because my insanity knows no bounds, the projects don't stop there. Noooo...I've already baked about 10 different things, pulled everything out of my craft closet to do "kids projects," and organized and reorganized different areas of the house. So really, I've succeeded in just making a HUGE mess! I know it will all come together eventually though and then I can relax again. Well, you know - whatever that means with a 3 year old and 1 year old.

So, as you can see there will be lots of catching up to do and my pinterest addiction will probably be a love/hate one. So please, tune in next week for the continuation of wallpaper removal and the crazy rollercoaster life of mine! Ciao.
